Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs.

It seems you are trying to install a software that is meant for the Windows operating system, not for Linux. Installing software in Linux works differently, you can for example use .deb files. Although some Windows software can be run using a program called "wine", that does not always work.

Why would you use zinf's wnidows installer? It has a linux version, so you shoud use that, if you must use zinf.

However, my recommendation is there are equally good replacements that you can use that can easily be installed from the software repository ("software-centre"). I would recommend the program "aqualung" -- you can install it from the repositories.

Can you help with this problem?
